Instructions

Season scallops with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add scallops to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer scallops to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add asparagus to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
In a small pot, bring potatoes and garlic to a boil in salted water. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain potatoes and garlic, then mash with heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, with scallops and asparagus on top of garlic mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
